DP Output Block
The DP Output block represents
the physical Display Port output
connection and is used to select
the format and frame rate of the
Display Port output.
The input to this block can be connected directly from the Generator block, to allow Display Port signal
generation, or can be connected from the Local User Interface block to provide the control system
user interface on a Display Port monitor.
The DP Output block provides the following functions:
Swap Monitor tiles
DisplayPort video standards such as 4Kp60 that require a higher
bandwidth use the Multi Stream Transport (MST) feature of DisplayPort 1.2.
This typically results in images being delivered as separate left and right panels.
Some monitors will display the left and right panels swapped. The Swap Monitor
tiles switch allows them to be swapped to correct the display.

signal selected in the Genlock block. With Free Run selected the DisplayPort will

Video Standards Editor . Clicking on the icon next to the Genlock


FDID allows the unit to interrogate the device connected to the
DisplayPort connector and return the device's Extended Display
Identification Data when Show is selected.
Selecting the Show function will displays a dialogue containing a text interpretation of the EDID data,
together with an option to save the data to disk.
Clicking on the Save option downloads two files (dp_edid.txt and
dp_edid.bin) either to your web downloads folder or, if the Ultra
is being controlled from a Local UI, to a USB stick plugged into the
Ultra.
The dp_edid.txt file contains a copy of the text displayed in the
dialogue; the dp_edid.bin file contains a binary dump of the EDID
data taken from the port.
